Default powder coating in Hampton roads?

Does anyone know of a shop where they'll take your tires off and powder coat your rims in the 757 area?? Im on the fence whether to buy new rims or just get the stock wheels powder coated..

i don't know of a shop that'll take them off, most of the bodyshops will outsource any tire labor, but you could always buy a set of stock rims and ride on those while yours are being powdercoated, that's what i did. You could look into precision powdercoating or auto elite, thats where i got mine done. And if you're looking for a cheap set of rims to ride on for a bit while you get yours done i have a set, $100 and they can be yours.

you'll have to remove the tires from the rims yourself though.

When i had mine done, it took about 5 days. They had to sand blast, prep, coat, cook, and finishing. But like i said before, you can buy a cheap spare set to ride on while you have your wheels done.
